User's Guide 2-10 BreezeNET BU-DS.11/RB-DS.11
2.6.10 Link Distance
For open outdoor areas with an unobstructed line of sight between the BU-DS.11 and the wireless
bridge, the suggested maximum distance is:
BU-DS.11 with external antennas up to
24Km (15 miles) in the USA
Up to 15Km in Europe
Note: The maximum distance of 24Km/15 miles is achieved using 24 dBi antennas. The maximum distance
of 15Km is achieved using 18 dBi antennas.
2.6.11 Using Outdoor Range Tables
Outdoor installations must have a clear line-of-sight. Solid obstacles such as buildings or hills
prevent the establishment of a link. Partial obstacles such as trees or traffic can reduce range.
Extending coaxial cables can cause an increase in assembly signal loss and a reduction in range.
Specific range tables, guidelines and information about extending cables can be obtained from your
local dealer or the BreezeCOM central offices.
2.6.12 Available Antennas and Antenna Kits
Table 2-2 and Table 2-3 list several transmit/receive antennas that work well with BreezeNET DS.11
units. Antenna types that passed the regulation phase for both ETSI and FCC are indicated in bold
type.
The cable length should be minimized in order to gain max link budget.
